There was fun in the sun as the community turned out to enjoy a family day out at Ottery Parish Church’s annual summer fair.
Organisers arranged a packed day of events and stalls in the surroundings of the stunning Cadhay House and gardens.
The entertainment included a birds of prey display and musical performances. Visitors also got to enjoy tours of the Tudor house, browsing a range of stalls, Devonshire cream teas and the much-anticipated grand draw.
All profits from the day went towards the upkeep of the church.
The Reverend Stephen Weston said: “We had a really good day and that made it worth it.
